We just blocked a far-Right attack on our movements.
In just 24 hours, JVP Action members, supporters, and partner organizations sent over 20,000 emails to the House of Representatives, demanding they oppose legislation that would have granted the incoming Trump administration unchecked power to shut down nonprofit organizations it doesn’t like.
With tens of thousands of us taking action across the country, eleven “no” votes from the first time this bill was voted on last spring became one hundred forty-five — and the bill was blocked.
The coming years under a Trump regime and greater Republican control will mean many battles ahead to defend our movements. But, the fact that we blocked this bill is a lesson that there is much we can do in the next two months — to change our circumstances right now, and to prepare for the long fight ahead.
Block a $20b weapons sale to Israel
Next week, the Senate will vote on historic legislation blocking a $20 billion weapons sale to Israel. Tell your Senators to vote YES.
Stop the weaponization of antisemitism
Dangerous legislation that falsely conflates criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism is close to becoming law. Tell your Senators to vote NO.
Defend free speech on campus
MAGA is waging a war on higher education, and pro-Palestine students and faculty are a prime target. Act now with our sister organization, Jewish Voice for Peace.
Trump and the ADL are coming for campus activists and free speech.
The day after the election, we were in mourning, preparing to fight for our lives and for the lives of our loved ones. The ADL was congratulating Trump on his victory.
You read that correctly: The Anti-Defamation League, a self-branded anti-hate organization, ostensibly dedicated to fighting antisemitism, practically celebrated Trump’s win. That’s because their true priority is defending Israel at all costs, even as it commits genocide in Gaza.
